How much time to cook strawberry jam for the winter
If you want to cook as thick jam as possible, then in this case you should take strawberries that keep their shape well (overripe ones are not good), put in a metal bowl or any other wide dish, cover them with sugar and let stand for two to three hours. After the indicated time, it is necessary to drain part (not more than half) of the released juice, and put the fruits on the fire and cook after boiling for 30-40 minutes, stirring the contents of the pelvis every two to three minutes (so as not to burn). It is better to lay out the finished dessert on the banks when it has completely cooled down. A huge plus of this jam is that it is stored for a long time.
